With an experienced defense attorney by your side who is dedicated to protecting your future and understanding you, your goals, and your story, most criminal charges can be successfully navigated and managed. There’s no way to 100% guarantee an acquittal.
In Wisconsin, operating a vehicle while intoxicated comes with strict penalties. In addition to having your driver’s license suspended or revoked, you may face incarceration.
While OWI first-time offenders in Madison do not necessarily face jail time, any OWI conviction may have serious consequences in the future. If convicted, you’ll still face penalties, including a fine and license revocation. You also may have to pay for and use an ignition interlock device.
Facing a criminal charge yourself can be confusing, but if your child is charged with juvenile delinquency, it may be even more overwhelming. Many people mistakenly believe that a juvenile record practically disappears when a person turns 18.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Even though juvenile records are sealed, they may still be discoverable during background checks. They can even make it harder for your child to find employment or be admitted into a college.
While it’s true that juveniles often need services to support rehabilitation and address the issues behind their acting out, we firmly believe that rehabilitation should come from family and private practitioners the family trusts rather than from state-run institutions like Dane County Juvenile Reception enter.
Domestic criminal charges are always serious. Wisconsin’s mandatory arrest law requires Madison police to arrest a person involved in a domestic incident.
Some accusations have the potential to ruin your reputation, and sexual assault is one of them. Even if you are accused and the charges are dropped (or you’re acquitted), an accusation of sexual assault can follow you for the rest of your life.
In certain cases, you may even be legally required to wear a tracking device. This enables law enforcement to follow your every move.
Our Madison criminal attorneys defend clients facing both state and federal drug crimes. Defending against a sophisticated drug investigation takes dedication and attention to the details of the investigation, as well as an eye for any mitigating circumstances that can make all the difference in the outcome in court.
Fraud may not be a violent crime, but it can often spur the alleged victims to vocally and actively advocate for severe penalties. Penalties can also vary greatly depending on the type of fraud committed.
Most crimes are state-level offenses, defined by state law, and prosecuted in state courts.
